Halloween at the Rothmeeler house wasn't quite as exciting as I had hoped. I have an entire bag of candy leftover, plus some other pieces from the first bag - and I was generous. We probably had about 30 kids. I blame the rain. It was fun to go home early and attempt to participate, though. Lexi got in on the fun and was quite the entertainment for some of the trick-or-treaters.
I bought this bumble bee costume last year because it was the only XL costume at Target. I think we had a volleyball game that night so we weren't around, but it made it to the new house and I knew just where to keep it until the big day. Lexi, surprisingly didn't mind the outfit. She just didn't like the antenna things that went around her ears. A couple of shakes and they were off! overall, Lexi did great. She greeted all of the kiddos at the door, and gave them all a good sniff. One young girl even commented that her dog would be barking and trying to eat the kids! A mom with her daughter said that Lexi was the funniest thing she had seen all night :) I think the rain helped keep Lexi in the doorway and from running out into the yard. I can bet that a number of kids wouldn't come up the driveway with her running freely.
I also tried to spread some Halloween cheer at work. I made some gluten free chocolate chip cookies and these Monster fingers :)
